Newry
Parish of
The first and last readings at every Sunday Mass are designed to
echo each other, making a theme for the day. It is not always
equally successful, but today they are a perfect match.
In the first reading the scene is this: in 732 or 734 B.C. an
Assyrian king, Tiglath-pileser III, captured great numbers and
Galileans and brought them into exile and slavery. “King
Tiglath-pileser of Assyria came and…carried the people captive to
Assyria” (2 Kings 15:29). Nevertheless, the prophet Isaiah is
addressing a message of hope to them: “The people who sat in
darkness have seen a great light, and for those who sat in the
region and shadow of death light has dawned." Many centuries
later Jesus of Nazareth would go to live in that very part of the
country where the people had been taken into slavery. Because
of the geographical coincidence the words of the ancient prophet
came spontaneously to mind. To the people of his own time
Jesus too would be a light of hope in dark times. God appeared
now to be fulfilling the prophecy made long ago by Isaiah.
Jesus is the bearer of light and joy:
LIGHT: “I am the light of the world,” he said (John 8:12; 9:5).
Another time he said, “I am the way, the truth and the life” (John
14:6). These come to the same thing:
• Without light, a way is not a way in practice: you can't follow it.
• The truth is a kind of light: when something is true it is standing
in plain sight.
• Life is a kind of light: there is a lightsome quality about someone
who is fully alive.

The Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
JOY: “You have multiplied the nation, you have increased its joy;
they rejoice before you as with joy at the harvest” (first reading).
Isaiah spoke these words in a time of utter depression for the
people. Perhaps this is the test of real joy: whether it can cut
through thick atmospheres of gloom.
When we say today that something is all “light and joy”, we don’t
usually mean it as praise; we usually want to say that it is
superficial. We have lost the capacity to have a straight
relationship to light and joy: these seem unreal to us. We are
more at home in darkness and gloom: they seem more real, more
the inside story. Wherever we see something that is healthy we
want to dig under it and expose its unsightly roots. Have you
ever noticed a great hatred of life in people who have lost their
inner direction? I have seen it in philosophers, novelists,
journalists…. Many seem to have lost the capacity to take
anything at face value. But I know people - and so do you whose face is not a mask, whose thoughts and emotions are full
of light and truth, who know real joy in their lives. Most of them
lead ordinary unspectacular lives, but they should be our heroes.

THE LITURGY OF THE WORD
Congregation Sits
FIRST READING
A reading from the prophet Isaiah
8:23 ‒ 9:3
In days past the Lord humbled the land of Zebulun and the
land of Naphtali, but in days to come he will confer glory on
the Way of the Sea on the far side of Jordan, province of the
nations.
The people that walked in darkness
has seen a great light;
on those who live in a land of deep shadow
a light has shone.
You have made their gladness greater,
you have made their joy increase;
they rejoice in your presence
as men rejoice at harvest time,
as men are happy when they are dividing the spoils.
For the yoke that was weighing on him,
the bar across his shoulders,
the rod of his oppressor,
these you break as on the day of Midian.
All:
The word of the Lord
Thanks be to God.
RESPONSORIAL PSALM
Ps 26:1. 4. 13-14. R v.1
(R)
The Lord is my light and my help.
1.
The Lord is my light and my help;
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life;
before whom shall I shrink? (R)
2.
There is one thing I ask of the Lord,
for this I long,
to live in the house of the Lord,
all the days of my life,
to savour the sweetness of the Lord,
to behold his temple. (R)
3.
I am sure I shall see the Lord s goodness
in the land of the living.
Hope in him, hold firm and take heart.
Hope in the Lord! (R)
SECOND READING
A reading from the first letter of St Paul to the Corinthians
1:10-13. 17
I appeal to you, brothers, for the sake of our Lord Jesus
Christ, to make up the differences between you, and instead
of disagreeing among yourselves, to be united again in your
belief and practice. From what Chloe s people have been
telling me, my dear brothers, it is clear that there are serious
differences among you. What I mean are all these slogans
THE THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
(bow your head up to the words ‘and became man’)
that you have, like: I am for Paul, I am for Apollos, I am for
Cephas, I am for Christ. Has Christ been parcelled out? Was
it Paul that was crucified for you? Were you baptised in the
name of Paul?
For Christ did not send me to baptise, but to preach
the Good News, and not to preach that in the terms of
philosophy in which the crucifixion of Christ cannot be
expressed.
All:
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin
Mary, and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.
Congregation stands
ACCLAMATION
All:
Mt 4:23
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of
life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and
glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Jesus proclaimed the Good News of the kingdom,
and cured all kinds of sickness among the people.
Alleluia!
GOSPEL
Priest:
All:
Priest:
All:
The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.
A reading from the holy Gospel
according to Matther (Shorter Form)
Glory to you, O Lord.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic
Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness
of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of
the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.
4:12-17
Hearing that John had been arrested Jesus went back to
Galilee, and leaving Nazareth he went and settled in Capernaum, a lakeside town on the borders of Zebulun and
Naphtali. In this way the prophecy of Isaiah was to be
fulfilled:
Land of Zebulun! Land of Naphtali!
Way of the sea on the far side of Jordan,
Galilee of the nations!
The people that lived in darkness
has seen a great light;
on those who dwell in the land and shadow of
death a light has dawned.
From that moment Jesus began his preaching with the
message, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is close at
hand.
All:
The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ.
PRAYERS OF THE FAITHFUL

THE LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST
Offertory Procession
The gifts of bread and wine which will become the Lord’s body
and blood are brought to the altar.
The celebrant raises the host on the paten saying:
Priest:
Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation,
for through your goodness we have received
the bread we offer you:
fruit of the earth and work of human hands,
it will become for us the bread of life.
All:
Blessed be God for ever.
The celebrant pours wine and a little water into the
chalice, saying quietly:
Priest:

The celebrant then raises the chalice above the
altar and says:
HOMILY
Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation,
for through your goodness we have received
the wine we offer you:
fruit of the vine and work of human hands,
it will become our spiritual drink.
Congregation stands
THE CREED
All:
I believe in one God, the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the
Father; through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
By the mystery of this water and wine
may we come to share in the divinity of Christ
who humbled himself to share in our humanity.
All:
Blessed be God for ever.
Bowing, the celebrant says quietly:
Priest:
With humble spirit and contrite heart
may we be accepted by you, O Lord,
and may our sacrifice in your sight this day
be pleasing to you, Lord God.
Then the celebrant washes his hands, saying quietly:
THE THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
All:
Wash me, O Lord, from my iniquity
and cleanse me from my sin.
he took bread and, giving thanks, broke it,
and gave it to his disciples, saying:
Pray, brothers and sisters, that my sacrifice
and yours may be acceptable to God,
almighty Father.
TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND EAT OF IT,
FOR THIS IS MY BODY
WHICH WILL BE GIVEN UP FOR YOU.
May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your
hands for the praise and glory of his name,
for our good and the good of all his holy Church.
In a similar way, when supper was ended,
he took the chalice and, once more giving thanks,
he gave it to his disciples, saying:
PRAYER OVER THE OFFERINGS
Priest:
All:
TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND DRINK FROM IT,
FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD,
THE BLOOD OF THE NEW AND ETERNAL COVENANT,
WHICH WILL BE POURED OUT FOR YOU AND FOR
MANY FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS.
Accept our offerings, O Lord, we pray,
and in sanctifying them
grant that they may profit us for salvation.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen

All:
The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.
Priest:
All:
Lift up your hearts.
We lift them up to the Lord.
Priest:
All:
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
It is right and just.
DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME.
Priest:
The mystery of faith.
All:
My Lord and my God.
Priest:
Therefore, as we celebrate
the memorial of his Death and Resurrection,
we offer you, Lord,
the Bread of life and the Chalice of salvation,

to be in your presence and minister to you.
Humbly we pray
that, partaking of the Body and Blood of Christ,
we may be gathered into one by the Holy Spirit.
PREFACE (II in Ordinary Time)
Priest:
It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation,
always and everywhere to give you thanks,
Lord, holy Father, almighty and eternal God,
through Christ our Lord.
Remember, Lord, your Church,
spread throughout the world, and bring her to the
fullness of charity, together with Francis our Pope
and N our Bishop and all the clergy.
For out of compassion for the waywardness that is
ours, he humbled himself and was born of the
Virgin; by the passion of the Cross he freed us from
unending death, and by rising from the dead he
gave us life eternal.
Remember also our brothers and sisters
who have fallen asleep in the hope of the
resurrection, and all who have died in your mercy:
welcome them into the light of your face.
Have mercy on us all, we pray,
that with the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God,
with blessed Joseph, her spouse,
with the blessed Apostles,
and all the Saints who have pleased you throughout
the ages, we may merit to be coheirs to eternal life,
and may praise and glorify you
through your Son, Jesus Christ.
And so, with Angels and Archangels,
with Thrones and Dominions,
and with all the hosts and Powers of heaven,
we sing the hymn of your glory,
as without end we acclaim:
ACCLAMATION
All:
Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts.
Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.
Congregation kneels
Priest:
You are indeed Holy, O Lord,
the fount of all holiness.
Make holy, therefore, these gifts, we pray,
by sending down your Spirit upon them like the
dewfall, so that they may become for us
the Body and + Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.
At the time he was betrayed
and entered willingly into his Passion,
Priest:
All:
Through him, and with him, and in him,
O God, almighty Father,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
all glory and honour is yours,
for ever and ever.
Amen.

NEWRY PARISH: Sunday 22nd January 2017
Message from the Administrator
Catholic Schools Week, January 22nd ‒ January 29th 2017. Every year the Church in Ireland takes one week in the year to celebrate the
great gift of the Catholic Schools in Ireland. It is an opportunity for us to focus on the Catholic Schools in our parish and the
tremendous work being done there. The theme of Catholic Schools Week this year is: Catholic Schools ‒ Communities of Faith,
Knowledge and Service. It is a reminder that a school is not just a place where lessons are taught, but that it is a place of faith, where
the school community builds up and becomes the body of Christ.
The Catholic School.....
• Has at its heart the mission and ministry of Jesus Christ.
• Builds an environment of care and concern for others that is rooted in Catholic social teaching.
• Creates a safe and happy learning environment where every child is encouraged and enabled to develop to their full and
unique potential as human beings, made in the image and likeness of God.
• Seeks educational excellence while remaining faithful to its distinctive vision and approach.
• Is an inclusive and respectful community, welcoming students of all denominations and of none.
• Acknowledges the role of parents as the first teachers in the ways of faith and provides opportunities for their participation
in the life of the school.
• Works in partnership with parents and the parish community to keep the light of faith burning brightly.
• Provides religious education programmes that confirm and deepen the child's understanding of the Catholic faith so that
every child will be as articulate in their faith as they are in all other areas of the curriculum.
• Nurtures the child's appreciation and understanding of the sacramental life of the Church.
• Displays the symbols of our rich Catholic faith tradition.
• Spends time as a school community in reflection, prayer, ritual, celebrating the Eucharist and other sacraments in order to
develop the spiritual life of each person in the school community.
Based on Vision 08: A Vision for Catholic Education in Ireland (A Pastoral Letter of the Irish Catholic Bishops' Conference)
Prayer for Teachers
Lord Jesus, guide us in our work so that the young people before us may grow to become all that you have called them to be. May our
teaching encourage them to embrace life in all its beauty and mystery. May our patience with them allow them to learn from their
mistakes. May our listening to them help them to respect themselves and others. Through the gift of your Spirit inspire us to love
what we do, to be a support to one another and to never give up on a child in our care.
Mass is being held in St. Peter s Church, Lurgan on Wednesday 1st February for all the schools of the Diocese.
